Monster ‘Mall’ buck killed in vehicle crashMonster ‘Mall’ buck killed in vehicle crashAdam Howard’s wife continues to tell him to “let it go.”

“I’m trying,” said the head of Mishawaka sewer repairs for the street department. “But it keeps eating at me.”

The avid outdoorsman is stewing about the loss of a legendary buck that once roamed the fields and woodlands near Main Street’s busy shopping area.

Perhaps you may have seen or heard about the monster buck. He was sighted numerous times the past few years in the fields and on the streets around Dick’s Sporting Goods, Pet Smart, and even St. Joseph Hospital.

The future of Michiana walleye fishing got a big boost this fall with multiple stockings in the St. Joseph River and inland lakes.

Some 10,500 walleyes measuring 6 to 8 inches were planted in October in the St. Joe between the Twin Branch and Elkhart dams. The river gets stocked in alternate years by the Indiana DNR and the Michiana Walleye Association.

The nice-size fish were purchased from Gollon Bait and Fish Farm, Dodgeville, Wisc. They should reach legal size (16 inches) in about three years.

Of those fish, 2,500 were purchased by the Michiana Walleye Association as they have done for several years and the bulk of the others were paid for through funds provided by I&M Electric as part of its agreement with the Indiana DNR.
